Maxwell Chambers House (also called Utzman-Chambers House[2]) is a historic home located at Salisbury, Rowan County, North Carolina. It was built between 1814 and 1819, and is a two-story, three-bay, Federal-style frame townhouse. It has three interior end chimneys and a one-story full-width shed roofed front porch with Doric order columns.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1] It is located in the Salisbury Historic District.
Cabinetmaker Lewis Utzman bought the site in 1814 from Charles Fisher for $100 and sold it to Judge James Martin for $1026 in 1819. It is believed the house was built for Utzman between these two dates, possibly by Jacob Utzman, who may have been a relative.[4]
The house became the Rowan County museum in the years 1953 to 1979[5] and was used for that purpose until the museum moved to the former courthouse in 2001.[6] In August 2025, the Historic Salisbury Foundation said it was moving out of the Salisbury Depot, which was sold to the city, into the Utzman-Chambers House.[5]
Maxwell Chambers
It was the home of Maxwell Chambers (1780-1855), a slave owner, planter and manufacturer in Salisbury.[7] He was also a representative from the Salisbury District in the North Carolina House of Commons in 1779, 1789, and 1790.[8]
